It’s a typical spring day here, one with dark skies and rain, but since I have to work to meet the deadline on my new book, it works for me.
Today, my Did You Know? is all about Young Adult fiction. Did you know that along with all the other books I’ve written I did write a Young Adult Suspense Novel? Prove It is a clean story, geared to the 12-18-year-old reader, but that will appeal to older readers looking for easy to read suspense. It was written as a gift for my granddaughter and deals with peer pressure and sports. discussing the ugly practice of gambling on high school sports. At the time I wrote the book, I’d been reading about a mother who’d murdered a competitor to secure a spot on a cheerleading squad. If a parent would do that, what else would they do? That’s when I found articles on the gambling.
Writers try to make their novels appealing to the readers by creating believable plots. In this case, I just had to Prove It!
High school sports can be more dangerous than you think!
Ivy Hill’s track star, Liam Howard, has his future all mapped out: date Hannah Connors, win the New Horizon scholarship, get a spot on the next Olympic team, and then go to medical school. Sounds simple, especially when he’s well on his way to achieving his dream. But someone else has other plans. Ignoring the most recent threatening note, Liam goes out for his regular practice run and is struck by a vehicle and left for dead.
Hannah refuses to believe Liam will never walk or run again, especially when she learns the person behind the accident may be her own track coach. Working with Erik Jenkins, Liam’s best friend, she searches for proof, but Erik vanishes on his way to see the coach. Now, it’s up to her, Liam, and their friends, to find Erik and the evidence they need to put a hit and run driver behind bars. But time may be running out for both Erik and Liam as someone tries to finish the job they started, regardless of collateral damage. Read the free preview to see for yourself.
